Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Institute of Business Ethics' ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Following the appointment of a new CEO, Lauren Branston, in September 2024, the strategy has been reviewed and will be comprehensively updated during 2025.”
• “Our Annual Lecture (speaker: Richard Moriarty, CEO of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), and our annual Summer event which allow us to network and interact with supporters and other interested parties. It was also an opportunity to thank our outgoing Director, Dr Ian Peters, for his contribution and stewardship of the IBE, and to welcome our new CEO, Lauren Branston, who took office on 1 September.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
